Definitions
- the invention comprises an anger bit for an anger having a leading digging bit, a spiral cutting and deflecting fin formed laterally along the bit, and .a split spiral blade having a leading cutting edge and an internal locking groove for receiving the leading end of the auger spiral flight.
- a rotary power source is provided for the anger, in threaded union with the auger shaft.
- a torque transmitting collar is inserted about the threaded union for transferring torque from the power source directly to the auger shaft, bypassing the threaded union.
- the invention presents a novel solution to the problems encountered in earth boring as it relates to reforestation planting, but is not particularly limited thereto.
- Subterranean roots, rocks and other debris cause auger bits to wear rather rapidly, and thus such bits must be replaced frequently, Usually, a single bit will last only a few hours, and therefore must be replaced at the work location.
- the auger bit should have smooth work surfaces to prevent clogging of dirt and debris at the junction of the auger flight and bit, and yet be capable of replacement with a minimum of difiiculty.

- the presence of the bolted connection permits roots, root tendrils and other encountered debris to be caught in the auger, thereby fouling the bit and reducing the effectiveness of the ground drilling operation.
- at least some simple tools are required to remove the bolts to replace a worn auger bit.
- U.S. Patent 3,094,198 issued to A. G. Newbold, presents a partial solution by providing a segmented bit having a key for holding the parts of the bit together on the end of the auger shaft. But a tool of some sort is required to remove and replace the key. Additionally, in the case of a bolted or keyed connection of the auger bit to its shaft, such small parts may be easily lost during changing of the bit at the work location, thereby rendering the auger useless until the lost parts can be replaced.
- the present invention overcomes these disadvantages by providing a single, one piece auger bit which is secured in place or removed Without aid of a single tool. Additionally, the shaft of the auger is provided with a torque transmitting collar which serves to strengthen the union of the auger and its rotating power source.

AUGER AND BIT THEREFOR Filed Au 23, 1967 v mvsmons flame/z fll mm: LZeaz'Z 151%560 BY WA JZ ATTORNEYS United States Patent US. Cl. 175-394 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention comprises an anger bit for an anger having a leading digging bit, a spiral cutting and deflecting fin formed laterally along the bit, and .a split spiral blade having a leading cutting edge and an internal locking groove for receiving the leading end of the auger spiral flight. A rotary power source is provided for the anger, in threaded union with the auger shaft. A torque transmitting collar is inserted about the threaded union for transferring torque from the power source directly to the auger shaft, bypassing the threaded union.
Background of the invention The invention presents a novel solution to the problems encountered in earth boring as it relates to reforestation planting, but is not particularly limited thereto. Subterranean roots, rocks and other debris cause auger bits to wear rather rapidly, and thus such bits must be replaced frequently, Usually, a single bit will last only a few hours, and therefore must be replaced at the work location. Desirably, the auger bit should have smooth work surfaces to prevent clogging of dirt and debris at the junction of the auger flight and bit, and yet be capable of replacement with a minimum of difiiculty.
Several prior art devices present at least partial solutions to the problem. For example, US. Patent No. 2,890,860, issued to F. T. Smith, indicates a post-hole auger having a bit attached to the auger flight by simple bolts. US. Patent Nos. 2,634,104, issued to J. F. Clayton et al.; 2,709,573, issued to F. E. Reed; and 2,838,285, issued to O. N. Gredell, indicates similar structures. However, in each case, the presence of the bolted connection permits roots, root tendrils and other encountered debris to be caught in the auger, thereby fouling the bit and reducing the effectiveness of the ground drilling operation. Additionally, at least some simple tools are required to remove the bolts to replace a worn auger bit.
U.S. Patent 3,094,198, issued to A. G. Newbold, presents a partial solution by providing a segmented bit having a key for holding the parts of the bit together on the end of the auger shaft. But a tool of some sort is required to remove and replace the key. Additionally, in the case of a bolted or keyed connection of the auger bit to its shaft, such small parts may be easily lost during changing of the bit at the work location, thereby rendering the auger useless until the lost parts can be replaced.
The present invention overcomes these disadvantages by providing a single, one piece auger bit which is secured in place or removed Without aid of a single tool. Additionally, the shaft of the auger is provided with a torque transmitting collar which serves to strengthen the union of the auger and its rotating power source.

Description of the preferred embodiment Referring now to the drawings by reference character, FIGURE 1 illustrates a complete powered ground drilling apparatus employing the instant invention, which comprises a portable power unit 10, with hand grips 12 and 14, a gear transmission unit 16, an auger shaft 18 with novel torque transmission collar 20 inserted between gear unit 16 and shaft 18, a spiral auger flight 22 and the novel auger bit 24. Power unit 10 may be a conventional internal combustion chain-saw power unit, gear transmission 16 being a conventional gear reduction unit for ground drilling purposes. These assemblies are conventional, and form no part of the instant invention.
As shown in FIGURES 2 through 4, novel auger bit 24 includes a lower, digging or starter tip 26 of inverse conical form having an upwardly spiral cutting and defleeting fin 28 formed therealong, The fin 28 serves to deflect to sever rocks, root tendrils and other debris encountered in a ground drilling operation, thereby reducing the possibility of their contact with auger flight 22, and eliminating any unnecessary wear of working parts.
The upper end of tip 26 terminates in a radial seat 30, which serves to receive the lower terminal edge of anger shaft 18. Augar bit 24 is stabilized with respect to shaft 18 by means of a cylindrical anchor plug 32, formed on and extending upwardly from tip 26, and snugly received within mating bore 34 of shaft 18.
The remainder of novel bit 24 includes a unique split spiral blade assembly comprising a lower horizontally disposed stabilizer plate 36, formed about a portion of the upper edge of tip 26 (FIGURE 3), and an upper helical blade segment 38 which has substantially the same pitch as auger flight 22 (FIGURE 2). The internal junction of plate 36 and blade 38 forms a groove 40 which serves to receive the lower, leading end of auger flight 22 in abutting relationship. The external junction of plate 36 and blade 38 forms a radial extending leading edge 42, which may be sharpened for cutting ease. It will be noted that novel auger bit 24 may be easily attached by mere insertion of plug 32 into bore 34, together with a twist motion of bit 24 in the direction of the thread of auger flight 22, to secure the bit in place. Removal of bit 24 for replacement is accomplished in reverse, without need of any tools, simple or specialized. Being of unitary construction, bit 24 includes no small parts that can be lost at the work location.
FIGURES 5 through 7 show the novel torque absorbing and transmitting collar 20 of the invention, which serves to prolong the life of auger shaft 18. The upper end of shaft 18 includes a stud 44 of cylindrical configuration, threaded at 46, and welded within or otherwise suitably secured to anger shaft 18. The upper terminal edge of shaft 18 is formed into a seat or flange 47 for collar 2.0.
